Accuracy assessment of different finger placements for cardiopulmonary resuscitation on infants

摘要: The assessment of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is important for training as well CPR related research to validate new method or confirm efficacy existing one. Infant CPR, in particular, has been received great attention due its controversy over appropriateness superiority between two different methods, two-finger (TF) and two-thumb (TT) suggested by the council. Accordingly, development tool that capable reliably investigating techniques become critical. One most challenging task infant provide consistent accurate finger placement throughout performance. Here, we suggest a measure accuracy both TF TT using manikin-integrated digital measuring system developed previous study. Center forces force sensitive resistance sensors used assessing placements were measured each compression scattered on 2D plane quantitatively qualitatively probe position. appearance data turned out be significantly depending performance capability. In comparison beginners experts, stdY meanDist significant parameters differentiating these groups techniques, meaning are poor at providing along y direction targeting specific region while relatively good balancing x direction.
